Does your unit have special events that you would like to get confirmation of attendance in advance? What about assigning costs to events and recording who has paid ?

The new Event Signup feature will do just that !

A new ‘signup admin’ tab is available in any Event on your Calendar to those with Add Content permission. Through this page you can setup the Event Signup feature and specific costs per person for the event.

You can also leverage the new Online Payments feature to collect payment online via credit cards or PayPal accounts. Make sure to setup the Online Payments feature first before trying to enable it on an individual Event.

Unit members can then record their attendance at the event, the number of scouts/adults/other in their party, and view a list of confirmed attendees. A new “block” on the right side of the Home Page will also highlight events that members should signup for.

Those with Add Content permissions can edit attendance confirmations and record that members have paid for the event through the ‘attendee list’ tab on the event.

Note: This feature relies on the Website Unit Roster being populated to pull member names from.

To get started with this exciting new feature, go to Admin/Control Panel/Features and enable Event Signup. Additional information on this feature can be found in Online Help/Features/Calendar.
